Metal Components
They’re not just strong. All Respond! Steel and Aluminum components are finished with durable Powder Coat Paints. All steel parts are laser cut to reduce sharp edges and burrs.
Extra Durability
We use powders with additives that increase impact and scratch resitance.
Typically, we apply at least 2 mils of powder coating on visible surfaces. The powders are formulated to provide a combination of good physical and chemical resistance properties. The technical properties are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Cleaning
Test any powder-coated surface to be cleaned and disinfected in an inconspicuous area first before proceeding.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Unlike spray paint, powder coating is much more resistant to things like rust, corrosion, peeling, and fading. However, that resistance does not mean it is wise to use chemical cleaners and solvents to clean powder-coated items. Harsh cleaners and solvents like acetone can damage the powder coating. Do not use any abrasive or acidic cleaning solutions, including lye or rust remover.
Clean Gently
You can wipe off dust with a soft cloth. To clean, use a pump spray bottle, apply a normal amount of cleaner to a clean microfiber or paper towel. Promptly wipe the desired area until dry. Do not spray directly on a surface or let the cleaner sit un-wiped for an extended period.

Windex All-Purpose Cleaner
Any cleaner not listed above should be applied to a non-visible area before use on the entire surface. Any adverse effects, such as discoloration, etc. will become evident.
Bleach Cleaning
To reduce the threat from viruses, you can also use a 10:1 ratio of bleach to water or a 70% isopropyl alcohol + water dilute. Rinse with water, then dry with another soft towel. It is crucial to ensure that cleaners are diluted according to instructions.
If there is a residue from bleach or if more cleaning is necessary, use a highly diluted, mild soap in water and a soft towel or soft sponge to very gently clean. It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
